I am a movie buff and go every week. One time the main floors of the parking garage were fairly full with only narrow spaces with possible dent dingers on both sides. As a result I went all the way to the garage roof. To my surprise there were no other cars there (about the size of a football field). Assuming that there would be some others eventually, I parked in the middle of the roof parking area (taking only one space of course LOL) feeling quite content that the Crossfire was safe.
Upon returning to the garage I took the elevator up to the roof. As the elevator door opened I realized I was right. Two other cars were there besides mine...NO LET ME CORRECT THAT!!! BESIDE MINE!!!
All those open spaces and they parked on either side of my car. It wasn't cold so I know they weren't huddled together for warmth.
As I cautiously approached the driver's side with the F100 pickup next to it, I was relieved to see no dings. The Suburban on the other side looked perilously close on the pasenger side. As I walked around, there it was. A 3 inch long crease that lined up with the door cladding on the Suburban.
Fortunately, the ding did not damage the paint and a call to the Dent Dr made it good as new (less $60 from my wallet).
**** that, I would have waited for that moron to come out, chew his *** out and make sure they paid for my damages.
